Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A HILLY COUNTRY ROAD AT THE RATE OF 40 TO 45 MILES AN HOUR. AS I WAS COMING DOWN AN INCLINE, I LOST CONTROL OF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE TAIL END WAS SWAYING FROM SIDE TO SIDE LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE. AS I DECELERATED AND TRIED TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED COMPLETELY TO THE RIGHT WHILE THE TAIL END OF THE CAR CONTINUED TO SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, I COULD SEE THE PART THAT WAS HOLDING THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE TO THE FRAME HANGING ON THE GROUND. *TR
